About the event:
Unsigned Finds is designed to shine a light on unsigned musicians based in Kent. We encourage a respectful and inclusive environment where artists can be heard and not just seen. With this in mind please try to keep talking to a minimum whilst artists are performing. We will have a short break between each act where you can top up on refreshments and/or use the facilities.

This event is about discovering your next favourite Kent-based musician and supporting them on their musical journey!

About the venue:
Please join us at Folklore (69 Old High Street, Folkestone) from around 7pm. Music starts at 7.30pm. Get in from 5pm to enjoy their happy hour where cocktails are from just £5!

Folklore is a small venue that seats 30 and has one accessible, disabled toilet. You may enter from either door and order at the bar. There will be breaks in-between acts where you can top up your refreshments. Outside there are two benches where you can get some fresh air and enjoy looking at the Folkestone Banksy.
